Swansea players trying to coax Laudrup onto training pitch

Laudrup, during the two months into his fourth managerial job in five years still hasn't played in any of the small-sided games - but he does receive and give the occasional pass from the touchline.

"His touch is so sharp," says midfielder Leon Britton. "Sometimes he looks like he might come on and have a go but it's not happened yet. I've got to admit, it'd be pretty cool to see. He's a legend, really, isn't he?"
